I've got this problem that annoys me alot even more than frame rates.
my cinematics scenes of FFX has this weird censorship-like graphics (FFX cinematics ain't porn!) that covers up more than 3/4 of the video.
This happened ever since I used r3113 of version 0.9.7 PCSX2, which I have downloaded in their website
http://pcsx2.net/
Heres a screenie:
This is the last settings that I am using:
I'm using a DVD-ripped to ISO from my traded FFX. Its very new. It even has the plastic on it before I tried it in my PS2 and ripped it. It was only used twice; tested and ripping it. I am also using Daemon Tools to emulate the ISO.
It worked before without problem (except for frame rates) with the lower version I downloaded from the ngemu.com forums.. Well old version that was on the first post of the thread. But I thought to myself, that I needed to update this emulator. So I found this site again(.. since I forgot that I did found and even signed up for this forum long before.. I forgot when was that.)
It wasn't like that before, until I got to the part where the game went to mushroom cliff to fight Sin. It went awry, and gave this censorship-like disturbance on cinematics. So I thought It was just a bug on that part of the cinematics. No biggie, hoping that It wont happen to the next cinematics. But it did, on the part where Tidus met Rikku the second time. So it got my attention. It wasn't just a doped part of the DVD/ISO, it may have affected all the cinematics.
So I did a restart of the game (New Game).
And here it is again:
I changed it to ZeroGS:
Same. I believe its not the Plugin anymore.
